Rider Profile

Best For	Suits riders from mid-level beginners to experienced cruiser fans who want a low, stylish, easygoing machine rather than outright performance.
Purpose	Built for laid-back boulevard cruising, short highway jaunts, and pure visual custom style with a fat front tire and blacked-out attitude.
Rider Fit	The very low 730mm seat height and manageable weight make it approachable for shorter riders, though the wide front tire adds some effort to low-speed steering.
Character	A stripped-down, muscular custom cruiser that trades cornering agility and top-end speed for torque-rich low-rev grunt and unmistakable Sportster attitude.
Not Ideal For	Not a good fit for riders wanting sharp cornering performance, serious long-distance touring comfort, or any kind of off-road capability.

Units

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 676mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2014 Harley-Davidson Sportster Seventy-Two, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 degrees and an upright riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
